What is Applied Behavior Analysis?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) arranges the environment to make behaviors more or less likely to occur in a socially significant setting. While there are many different types of ABA the basics and the way skills are taught are the same. ABA focuses on increasing behaviors, such as communication and social skills in order to decrease inappropriate behaviors. Currently, Applied Behavior Analysis is the most evidence-based treatment available for children with autism.
